System Overview: Karkaris is the homeworld of the Karkarodons, a species of sentient aquatics with a shark-like appearance. During the Clone Wars, Karkaris was aligned with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Karkarodons, the planet’s native species, developed the Hydroid Medusa bio-weapons on their homeworld. These bio-mechanical monsters were later shipped to the Dac System to participate in a battle between the two native races, the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. With the defeat, the Republic sent warning to the system which later swore allegiance to the Republic. With the formation of the Galactic Empire, Karkaris has declared itself an independent system, but happy to conform to Imperial Law.

The planet has one moon named Bro’Di, which in ancient Karkarodon legends refers to ‘The Destroyer’, a being believed to have been the first human to have arrived on the planet. The story goes that Bro’Di killed one Karkarodon’s greatest warlords named J’Aws. Stories persist that Bro’Di was in fact a member of the ancient cult of the Sith, but nothing has been found that proves this theory.
